The UPLOAD:98 project is
developed to offer an opportunity for science students
from any Stellar school to participate in an online
science fair that would be hosted by Templeton
Collegiate. Students are given the chance to upload HTML
files about their own science projects so others may view
them online. Each science program at Templeton Collegiate
requires its students to complete an independent science
project.

The concept would be similar to
that of the traditional science fair in that each
participant would be required to investigate an issue of
scientific concern which interests them.

However, the benefits of
Internet technology will allow several neat twists and
enhancements to the "standard" science fair:

All presentations will
occur via access to the UPLOAD:98
homepage.

Participants may respond
to questions via e-mail.

Not required:
- a building/gymnasium for setting up displays
- no long waiting periods in the fair
- transportation to the fair
- accommodations at the fair

Virtual travel through
hyperspace allows students :

To participate at their
own convenience.

To be environmentally
friendly (less petro exhaust to the air, land,
water since physical transport of participants
and equipment is not necessary.

To be independent; no
requirement for chaperones, billets.

To participate even in a
blinding snow storm if communication lines are
intact.

This project is intended to
produce a forum to display science projects submitted by
Newfoundland students

(Gr. 7 - Level III). Although
the project will invite and encourage participation from
all Stellar Schools, the core group of students who set
up the project may be evaluated on their skills and
knowledge of the following:
